Podcast Production & Distribution

The podcast template for agencies building shows from 0 to top-100 charts.

Podcast production isn't editing audio — it's building a media property. This template scopes the engagement as production + distribution + repurposing, with pricing tied to episode cadence and asset volume. Designed for founders and brands using audio as a primary content moat.

Investment structure

Three pricing tiers, edit-in-place.

Setup fee + monthly retainer. Round numbers. Each tier includes everything below it plus specific upgrades. The middle tier is recommended — most clients pick it.

How to price podcast production in 2026

Foundation: $3,500/mo + $4,000 setup, 2 episodes/month + editing + show notes + distribution. Growth: $7,500/mo + $8,000 setup, 4 episodes + video + 5-10 social clips + guest booking. Scale: $18,000/mo + $20,000 setup, 8 episodes + studio production + 20+ clips/week + sponsor management. Per-episode pricing under-charges for the strategy + distribution work that actually grows a show.

Common mistakes this template fixes

1) Selling episodes — sell shows. 2) Skipping the format/strategy phase (most podcasts die before episode 10). 3) No distribution / repurposing layer — episodes published and forgotten. 4) Missing sponsor enablement (revenue is the moat).

When to use this template

Founder or brand committed to a 12-month podcast investment. They understand growth is slow (episodes 1-30 are the hardest), have a real point of view, and want production handled so they can focus on the conversation.
